Per CS, no firm date has been selected. Invitations will be limited and based on proximity to the event. They will not be allocated by order date or vehicle type (R1T v. R1S).

It doesn't appear to be an "Event" like Normal and SF, but mobile drives only like NY.
Pro: No need to go anywhere, they come to you.
Con: You get to see only what they decide to bring with no color/trim comparison possible.

That was the last straw. I got my order in a few minutes ago.
However, right after doing so, the post from Rivian was taken down on both Twitter and Instagram.

BTW, any Denver area people willing to share their drive if I don't get picked to do one? ;);)

I am a little concerned about the test drive event only being 30 minutes. The place I'd want to drive it so I can open it up takes at least 15 minutes to get to in the first place. Otherwise it's just stop-and-go suburbia traffic.

I don’t think they’ll allow you to drive it up the steps at Red Rocks anyhow! Lol!

:) I am in the middle of Broomfield and I'd really like to get it out on 93 so I can open it up.

Check with them when you schedule. I thought I heard you tell them where to meet them, does not have to be your house.

Yes I watched one of the latest Rivian stories videos and the excited guy with pointy hair had them meet at the beach on Long Island for a sand drive. My plan is to test a drive from the Steel street service center to Coors Field without getting shot and then doing a Christmas parking lot duel for a space at Cherry Creek Mall.

What time of day do you drive 93 that you can open it up for any length of time (besided near where the cops hang out)?

Sunday mornings are always clear for me.

Especially when Karen, in her new Outback Wilderness” decides to occupy the passing lane while matching the speed of the car next to her.

You got me thinking there. I think I’d come down 93 then go west on 72 up to Coal Creak. Then turn on Gap road up towards Tremont mountain. That’s a good dirt road.

I’d love to take one on the trail, but most trails are going to be covered in snow soon. PeeWink Mountain or Switzerland Pass may be the only things open soon.

Depending on where you start you can go up 72 to Eden Rd and then down toward Camp Granite Lake it turns into a great straight stretch of dirt road.

I just talked to my wife about 20 mins ago and she told me she saw an R1T turn from 144th onto southbound Huron. She tried for tell color but in the twilight she said it was one of LG/El Cap/Limestone. She said the plates looked like New York but could have been the Illinois MFR ones.
